Designed to let in the sunlight all day and offer the most stunning views from inside the house.

The open windows and glass doors let in all the fresh air you'll need.

Here you'll feel as if you're living outside,

without losing any of the comfort of a sturdy home.

The main entry is situated at the back,

Where the shrubs are chosen to blend naturally with the surrounding forest.

The landscaping has a real tropical feel,

which accentuates the warm and sunny climate.

The Aloë Vera plants and rocks give the place a truly rugged look.

The fruittrees fit in nicely with the lush palmtrees,

While offering some extra privacy for the bed- and bathroom.

Eventhough the garden isn't really established yet,

We've tried to make a lay-out that will only grow more pleasing with passing years.

In time, surrounding wildflowers will find teir way to mix with the now still sparce landscaping,

They will enhance the natural shape and wild feel of this garden.

More and more you will feel asthough the whole forest is your backyard.

We feel this bright and sunny home is perfect for Hermey,

So we've done our best to make it as fitting as possible for him.

With a private pool overlooking the ocean,

and so much open livingspace he'll feel the sun and warm breeze on his face all day long.

There is a poolside loungechair for him to enjoy the morning sun after a fresh dip in the pool, or drink his cocktails in the evening (it also has a little sidetable next to it, eventhough it's not visable in this picture).

The pool is also accessible from the livingroom, so you won't even have to walk outside for that morning swim!

The main terrace offers plenty of room for future activities, but a chesstable is already there.

Here you can train your mind and enjoy the warm evening breeze while watching the setting sun.

The half open kitchen offers stunning views all around.

The morning sun sweeps into this space,

and you'll be able to watch the sun set while washing your dishes in the evening.

Eventhough the climate is warm and rain and cold nights are unheard off here, the fireplace still adds that cozy feel.

In the livingroom there is a diningtable and a lovely nook to sit and read.

Here Hermey can hang some of the paintings he surely will create.

A violin will also allow him to express his creativity.

There is plenty of space here for Hermey to add his own personal touch,

to make this house feel even more like his home.

The furnishings in this home are quite sober due to the tight budget, but we did manage to include a bar for Hermey to mix his own cocktails.

And ofcourse we had to give him a pool.

So he can finally stop dreaming

and actually sip cocktails by the pool.

We will be going around inside the house now,

to show the other rooms and features that we included.

The dining and living area,

is where you enter the house from the frontdoor.

From here you have access to the kitchen we've already seen,

the pool and deck area,

and also the bedroom and study,

which you find on the other side.

Just like the rest of the house, this room has that open, airy feel,

but here you are somewhat more protected from the outside.

The desk and the bed are facing the incredible view of the ocean.

and the vegetable garden makes it just a little more private.

Just like the rest of the house, the room offers lots of oppertunity for personalisation.

We wanted to make sure Hermey would feel rested and relaxed, so we did get hem a slightly better bed instead of adding decorations...

And we felt the view was a decoration on its own.

The open hallway has the door to the bathroom and leads to the painting and workout area in the back.

The bathroom is very simple.

It just has what you need.

A shower,

a toilet,

and well, two sinks... because everybody needs a doubble sink, right?

The workout area is just big enough to fit the running machine we got for Hermey.

Here he can run off his frustration,

and look towards a brighter future in the form of his very own fruit- and vegetable garden.
